Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 392 - : Deep Love, Serious Responsibility

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Deep Love, Serious Responsibility

In the middle of their conversation, Liu Zhi’er suddenly emitted a slight sound of surprise.

“Right, Mom! Why didn’t Eldest Sister come back today?”

Upon mentioning this topic, the smile on Ms. Yao’s face disappeared.

“Just before New Year, your Eldest Sister, Liu Xuer, sent a message saying that a few days ago, her mother-in-law hurt her back and was bedridden. She needs someone to take care of her, so she couldn’t come back for the New Year this year.”

“Didn’t her mother-in-law just hurt her back once last New Year? How can this be such a coincidence, another injured back?” Liu Zhi’er directly asked.

Looking at Ms. Yao’s dim eyes, she quickly changed the subject with a light cough: “Since Eldest Sister can’t come back today, it’s a good opportunity for us sisters to enjoy ourselves, eat and drink heartily!” freewёbnoνel.com

“Exactly! Your brother and sister-in-law took their two children back to their mother’s home. Since they were conveniently passing by Xuer’s house, I asked your brother to drop by and see if they needed any help…”

“He offered to help? It would be better if his help didn’t make things worse.”

Liu Zhi’er mumbled next to her, but didn’t go into much about this matter.

“Right, mom! You probably don’t know yet, do you? Little Sister’s life has also improved a lot. A few days ago, they even bought a manor with a house in it, there is even a hot spring inside, all of it is fertile land, their life is improving.”

Liu Zhi’er was typical of one who would share happy news but not the bad.

“Yes, mom! When you have time, Si Er will take you over for a few days of fun, and let you out to relax.” Liu Sisi immediately joined in.

“Where would your mother need to relax?”

Ms. Yao’s face broke out in a full smile: “There are so many things to take care of at home, and your brother’s two children also need looking after. How could I be away? It’s comforting enough that you have this intention.”

“Aren’t my brother’s two kids also under the care of my sister-in-law, why can’t you leave?”

Liu Sisi squinted her eyes, she was very curious about the big brother and sister-in-law who had caused so much harm to her former self, but until now she has not had the chance to meet them, which was truly a regret!

“Your brother and his wife, they…”

Ms. Yao fell silent at this statement, and even the smile on her face disappeared.

The sisters exchanged a glance and asked curiously, “Mom, did something happen?”

“Why would something happen? There’s nothing wrong! My, my, the thing is the two children are not fond of your sister-in-law, so…”

Ms. Yao’s gaze wandered: “Right! I forgot to ask you, where’s your husband Dong Chang? Why didn’t he come along today? And what about Er Mao and San Mao? Leaving two little ones at home like this, what does that say about you! How did I raise you to be?”

Once this matter was mentioned, Ms. Yao adopted a lecturing tone.

It seems that she still doesn’t know about Liu Zhi’er’s misfortune.

Liu Sisi was about to open her mouth when Liu Zhi’er preempted her.

“Mom! You are right to scold me, Zhi’er should not quarrel with him and should not have left the children at home. Rest assured that when I go back, I will take good care of the children and will not upset you anymore.”

At her words, Liu Sisi looked at her, swallowing what she had been about to say.

Ms. Yao gave her a reproachful glance: “I know it’s my fault. Ah! In the rush to get your brother married, I married Xuer off in haste, and now I can’t see her throughout the year. And for your two nephews, I had Zhi’er married too. That Dong Chang is even a cripple, my heart is…”

“Mom! These are all things of the past, let them go!”

Liu Zhi’er forced a smile and swallowed her bitter tears.

“Right, right, right, we have to look forward. Sigh——fortunately Sisi is doing well now. I see Di Yelei, although he is a widower and his first wife left him with two children, at least your family is leading a better life now, which comforts me.”

Ms. Yao patted her chest, her face full of joy.

A sarcastic smile crept to the corner of Liu Sisi’s mouth, strictly speaking, wasn’t the original Liu Sisi the most unfortunate?

She had died immediately after getting married, what was good about that?

But of course, she wouldn’t voice these thoughts!

When mealtime came around, the table was indeed filled with cooked dishes.

As they sat down for the meal, Liu Sisi thought that Liu Quan would launch into a tirade. She was prepared for a father-daughter showdown.

Surprisingly, Liu Quan just huffed audibly, and directly took the main seat. Furthermore, he directly picked up YingEr and placed her next to him, soothing her.

“Come, sit here with grandfather, whatever you want to eat, let Grandfather get it for you.”

Although his face was stern, his voice was extremely gentle when he cajoled YingEr.

“The old man has always wanted a granddaughter. However, after Eldest Sister-in-law gave birth to her second child last time, she was injured and there has been no good news these years. Today, thankfully, YingEr is here, making everything complete.” Ms. Yao cheerfully added, quickly filling up Di Yelei’s cup with rice wine.

Di Yelei hastily stood up, “Lady Mother-in-law, please sit down. Please don’t trouble yourself with me.”

“It’s fine, I’m happy today. You all must eat more. Here, this is Sisi’s favourite braised pork feet. Try some.”

Ms. Yao kept serving Everyone: “Here, Zhi’er, these are your favourite chicken feet. Eat quickly.”

“Sisi, here’s your favourite starch-steamed meat. You need to eat for two now, so don’t go hungry. ”

“You’re called Xuan’er, right? Let grandmother serve you some fish lips, they are the best…”

The meal slowly concluded in a harmonious atmosphere.

Liu Sisi only regained her senses after putting down her bowl and chopsticks, and after shedding tears to bid farewell to the Liu Family.

Didn’t her dad say she was not allowed to eat?

Why did he not say a word when we actually sat down to eat?

“Sisi, look!”

Di Yelei suddenly called out from beside her.

Everyone turned to follow Di Yelei’s gaze. A familiar figure was standing at the village entrance, bidding them farewell. If it wasn’t Liu Quan, then who could it be?

“Dad is seeing us off.”

Standing beside her, Liu Zhi’er, holding Da Mao’s hand, bent down and picked up Da Mao: “Sisi, Dad has always loved you the most. You’re always saying Dad doesn’t care for you.”

“Huh? He…loves me?”

Liu Sisi was somewhat unable to snap back to reality.

“I’m afraid it’s true. When you all went to the kitchen, Lord Father-in-law repeatedly asked me about what had happened after you married me. Although he didn’t say it, I could tell he is very concerned about you.”

“….If he cares about me, why would he scold me?”

Liu Sisi, who had been an orphan in her previous life, couldn’t understand at all.

The group continued onwards in silence. When they reached the bend in the mountain hollow and were about to turn, Liu Sisi looked back and saw her dad still standing in the snow, watching as they gradually moved further and further. His figure turned into a small black dot and then disappeared from view as they turned the corner.

“Perhaps, his love is deep, hence the stern admonishment.”

Di Yelei murmured.
